Hey Dean I had a VR600 and 4x kasa plugs working on it without issue. The Kasa device simply need some sort of internet connection to work, nothing too fancy

@Philbert  its not the plugs or bulbs - i want to add a motion sensor but it sensor a smart router is required but on looking into them all i can find is the SR20 but thats a us router i dont know if this would work in the uk - ive also seen the cameras work as a motion sensor but i have them on the outside lights but id like a motion sensor instead of a camera for indoors

Have you any details on the sensors themselves? Post a link to the model or manual if you can

@Philbert i dont to hand but when you got to the app - add device - motion sensor i get the message that says -

 

CHECK YOUR ROUTER - A smart home router is needed before you can setup a motion sensor 

 

same mesage for door and window sensors 

 

 

so i need a smart router - and at the moment im using my BB providers router

@Deano987 

 

Hey Deano

 

Had some time today so done some digging on this for you.  I may be wrong but this I think is looking for a control hub for the IOT devices you have bought and not the 'router' as it appears.

 

Some IOT devices require a central hub/router to work off, again I could be wrong but just my thinking.  Check out the Samsung SmartThings Hub v3 for example, this allow all zigbee/bluetooth devices to access a WLAN connection for automation.  I think its something like this you need.

 

If you can provide some details on the sensors (manufacturer, model) I will see if i can help you some more

yes that's correct unsure if it will work with Samsung SmartThings Hub v3 but have found the Tp-Link SR20 that is compable and i will read up on the samsung hub as my sensors are compatible with that too thank you
